Wishing For Perfection

When I woke up I didn't expect to see
My face is changed, this isn't really me
I felt all around my nose and my cheeks
Everything was perfect, no more critiques
Then a smile grew on my face
Which lead to the surprising outcome of disgrace
All of my once-perfect teeth had somehow disappeared
And now I have everything to fear
Wishing for perfection is going to have consequence
Now, looking at my smile, there is the evidence.
